SONGS FOE CHILDHOOD. |
61 |

With many a curve my banks I fret By many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set With willow-weed and mallow.
I chatter, chatter, as I flow To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.
I wind about, and in and out, With here a blossom sailing, |
And draw them all along, and flow To join the brimming river;
For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever.
I steal by lawns and grassy plots ;
I slide by hazel covers; I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.
I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance Among my skimming swallows; |
||||
And here and there a lusty trout, And here and there a grayling;
And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel, With many a silver water-break
Above the golden gravel, |
